Equitable Stroke Control (ESC)

The ESC procedure sets a maximum score that a golfer can post for handicap purposes on any hole. The maximum number depends on the golfer’s course handicap. The accompanying table tells you the maximum score you can post for any hole.  Reduce your score for posting, accordingly.
